Dear Jim, and to all concerned, This is one of the churches I've been trying to obtain a copy of. I wrote to Pat last fall, and at the time she had just returned from Illinois for a funeral in the family and was overwhelmed. A couple months later I wrote a note again, and she replied that she had sickness in her family and was overwhelmed with work in her job. She promised to help me get copies of several records as well as her doctoral dissertation, but so far I have not heard from her. I am not sure what is going on at Saline County with church records, as I inquired and they didn't have time to tell me or even sign their name at the end of the letter except with an initial, even though I offered to pay someone to stand and do copywork. I hope everyone else is having more success with their research than I am on this. It seems to me that this is important. If I am able to obtain any of these records I will be happy to let you all know.
